Working with local mediums (print and electronic) of the media and utilizing social media, Krewe of The 9-has launched a hydration campaign encouraging Natchitoches residents to stay hydrated this summer.

Realizing the body (on average) is 60% water and staying properly hydrated helps to keenly regulate temperature, lubricate joints and aggressively deliver nutrients to cells, the krewe recently launched the “Stay Hydrated, Healthy and Happy” campaign. Partnering with Super 1 Foods on University Parkway at the Highway 1 By-pass, the krewe will provide public service announcements weekly regarding hydration and share by word of mouth the importance of staying hydrated in the midst of the high temperatures and the expectancy of three digit temperatures throughout the summer. Super 1 will provide residents with an opportunity to register for a case of water to be given away (at the University Parkway location) every Friday until the second Friday in September.
